2. Insert the spacer (Figure 71).
3. Press the second bearing into the roller housing (Figure
71) pressing equally on the inner and outer race until
the inner race comes in contact with the spacer.
4. Install the roller assembly into the deck frame.
Important: Securing the roller assembly with a
gap larger than 1.5 mm (0.060 inch) creates a side
load on the bearing and can lead to premature
bearing failure
5. Verify that there is no more than a 1.5 mm (0.060 inch)
gap between roller assembly and the roller mount
brackets of the deck frame. If there is a gap over 1.5
mm (0.060 inch), install enough 5/8 inch diameter
washers to take up the slop.
6. Secure the mounting bolt to 108 N-m (80 ft-lb).

Storage

Storing the Battery

If the machine will be stored more than 30 days, remove
the battery and charge it fully. Store the battery in a cool
atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the charge in the
battery. To prevent the battery from freezing, make sure it is
fully charged. The specific gravity of a fully charged battery is
1.265–1.299.
Preparation for Seasonal
Storage
Follow these procedures anytime you will be storing the
machine for more than 30 days.
Traction Unit
1. Thoroughly clean the traction unit, cutting units, and
engine.
2. Check the tire pressure. Inflate all tires to 97 to 110
kPa (14 to 18 psi).
3. Check all fasteners for looseness; tighten as necessary.
4. Grease or oil all grease fittings and pivot points. Wipe
up any excess lubricant.
5. Lightly sand and use touch-up paint on painted areas
that are scratched, chipped, or rusted. Repair any dents
in the metal body.
6. Service the battery and cables as follows:
A. Remove the battery terminals from the battery
posts.
B. Remove the battery.
C. Slowly recharge the battery before storage and
every 60 days thereafter for 24 hours to prevent
lead sulfation of the battery.
To prevent the battery from freezing, make sure
it is fully charged. The specific gravity of a fully
charged battery is 1.265–1.299.
D. Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a wire
brush and baking soda solution.
E. Coat the cable terminals and battery posts with
Grafo 112X skin-over grease (Toro Part No.
505-47) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
F. Either store it on the shelf or on the machine in
a cool area. Leave the cables disconnected if it is
stored on the machine.
